Christians are going to have to learn that it is not power that is good or evil, but the wielder of that power. The Book of Proverbs says “When the righteous rule, the people rejoice.” We need to make that principle more than just a campaign slogan, but rather an entire philosophy of governing.   ...

Challenges to religious freedom which attack Judeo-Christian morality in the name of moral autonomy continue in the West. The objective of making state-defined morality into a permanent regime remains in the sights of its advocates. Those who would defend religious freedom and liberty of conscience must be vigilant and continue to respond to attacks, as... Continue Reading

We in the West have been thrown into an “Objective Room.” The N.I.C.E. training of our day is administered in university classrooms, mainstream media outlets, corporate trainings, and propaganda from the entertainment industry. What “instinctive preferences” and “human reactions” must be eliminated by the N.I.C.E. powers of our day?   Mark Studdock has become something... Continue Reading

But it understood a couple of truths: Sex is important, not trivial; sex is sacred, not just one species of human act among others; and how we act sexually reflects how we... Continue Reading

After screening 6,736 titles and abstracts involving puberty blockers, only 10 studies were included in their review. While children who received puberty blockers compared to those who don’t score higher on “global function” — quality of life, and general physical and psychological wellbeing — the evidence was of “very low certainty.” Very low, meaning researchers...

New research shows how taking God’s word seriously adds to life’s meaning. Researchers found that those who read their Bibles once or twice a week experienced no benefit over those who never read their Bibles. At three times a week, minor gains were detected, but with at least four times a week, everything seemed to... Continue Reading

Elon Musk is a poster child of the transhumanist dream with his investments in Neuralink. Neuralink has already developed human brain implant technology to eventually fuse the brain with computers. An early application has a brain implant that allows severely paralyzed patients to communicate with a computer by their thoughts.   Evolutionary biologist Julius Huxley... Continue Reading
